Two arrested for robbing from vehicles

Police have arrested two members of gang, which allegedly used to rob expensive articles from parked cars after distracting the driver by throwing cash around the vehicle, and seized looted jewellery worth Rs 50 lakh.
According to the police, Ramesh (25) and Suraj (19), both residents of Madangir, were arrested from Khokha Market, Saket after police received a tip off about them.
"The gang would distract the driver/person sitting in the car by throwing currency notes on the ground near the driver's gate and would ask the driver to get his money on the road or tell him that fuel or oil from the car was leaking.

"As the driver's attention was diverted, other gang members standing on the next side of the car would escape with the bag and other valuable items from the car," said a police official.
On Saturday, the gang looted one Anil Somani, a businessman of Safdarjung Enclave by applying the same modus operandi when he was going from Delhi to Dehradun to take part in a jewelry exhibition and a FIR in this context was registered at Murad Nagar police station, said a police official.
During investigations, on Monday, police received information that two men involved in such crimes would come to Khokha Market, Saket to dispose of stolen jewelry worth several lakh of rupees.

Immediately, a trap was laid and the duo was nabbed as they reached there on a motorcycle. Jewellery worth lakhs was recovered from their possession, police said.
